BEST BOAT SHOES FOR MEN 

Boat shoes are an essential for men who want to put some class and pizazz in their casual wear. Boat shoes for men were invented by American sailor Paul A. Sperry of New Haven, Connecticut in 1935. When Sperry saw that his dog did not have any trouble running on the ice, he got curious in developing a shoe with great grip in Ice or Water. Using a knife, he cut siping into his shoes' soles, inspiring a shoe perfect for boating and a company called Sperry Top-Sider. When he saw the black shoe soles were leaving marks on this boat, he swapped those out for white soles. 

Boat shoes for men are used by sailors, as the name suggests; however, since the 1970s they have become casual shoes for men to be worn everywhere. Boat shoes are versatile and they work with almost every semi-casual and casual outfit. Boat shoes also come in both lace-up and lace less construction, giving you more choice and variety in what kind of boat shoes you would want to wear. 

Boat shoes are also very famous with children due to the slip-on design, good and comfortable fit and good grip. Boat shoes were also seen as a status symbol, as boats are very expensive and boat shoes for men were used by people who owned boats and operated them regularly. These shoes became hugely popular in the 1970s and 1980s, but slowly phased out of style. In 2007, the shoes made a comeback and they have been popular ever since. Here are a couple of features of Boat casual shoes for men which you will find interesting:

1. Boat shoes for men are the only type of casual shoes for men which feature ‘siping’, like in a vehicle’s rain or snow tyre, for better grip. Sipes provide better grip and traction in rainy and snowy seasons and prevent falling.
2. Boat shoes have also been accepted as uniform shoes in many schools around the world, solely for the reason that they are easy in accessibility and provide a comfortable yet formal look.
3. Boat shoes give a similar look as Moccasins or Loafers but differ in construction, form and function. Boat shoes are typically made of leather which is further oiled. This is to give the leather extra water resistant qualities.
